Highlights

Pokemon Adventures is based on the original three Pokemon video games, Red, Blue and Yellow version. The characters, Red and Blue are named after the video games and they are based off characters in the T.V. show. Red is based off Ash Ketchum and blue is based off Gary Oak. All of the adventures that happen are at places that also appear in the game, but the adventures are not the same as the the video game. Reds first adventure was in Pallet Town, and he was out in the woods looking for pokemon when stumbled across Blue battling a pokemon named Mew. When Blue lost the battle, Red jumped in to the battle to try and catch the pokemon Mew. Mew is one of the the most rare pokemon in the world. For Red to capture Mew he will half to use all he has learned.
